What string quartets did Mozart study before composing his Haydn quartets?

Haydn's quartets Opus,17, 20, and especially Op.33. In1782, Mozart also began a thorough study of the works of Bach and Handel at the urging of Baron van Swieten. These did not include any string quartets, yet their influence on the "Haydn" quartets is obvious and strong. Of course, Mozart was also acquainted with the quartets of Richter, Dittersdorf, Vanhal, and the other Mannheim and Viennese composers, but in the "Haydn" quartets he is moving away from their ideas.

How long has the string quartet existed?

The string quartet dates from at least the 1750s, with the works of Franz Xaver Richter, Luigi Boccherini, and early Haydn. It's actually fairly hard to pin down, though. Two violins, viola, and cello is also the standard string section of an orchestra, so how do we know something was written for just four players and not for an ensemble of varying numbers? By the time we get to Haydn's mature quartets it is obvious--it would sound silly for a string orchestra to play these soloistic parts. But in his op. 1, there isn't that distinction. In fact, there are optional wind parts for some of the op. 1 quartets, which leads us to think they may also have been performed as divertimentos or even as small symphonies.
